Elevated caspase 3 expression correlates with severe inflammation in Crohn's disease.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Caspase 3 is a key executioner of apoptotic cell death and contributes to intestinal epithelial homeodynamics. Apoptotic dysregulation has been implicated in Crohn's disease, yet data on caspase 3 expression across disease activity states remain limited. This study analyzed caspase 3 expression in intestinal biopsies from Crohn's disease patients. Paraffin-embedded biopsies from 289 individuals were examined, including active disease (mild and severe inflammation), upper gastrointestinal involvement, remission and non-inflamed tissue. Expression in epithelial and immune cells was assessed by immunohistochemistry and scored using the Remmele immunoreactive score (IRS). Caspase 3 expression levels in epithelial cells increased in cases of severe inflammation (p=0.012), and immune cells exhibited even more pronounced expression levels (p<0.001). These findings suggest that caspase 3 expression in epithelial and immune cells may help to distinguish between mild and severe inflammation.
